Hey y'all I am new here. I just recently got diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and I am still trying to figure out everything. Since turning 13, I have been dealing with very bizarre thoughts and sometimes hallucinations. I wanted to ask if you struggle with similar symptoms and how do you deal with it? Does it ever get better? Thanks

Hi @John7979!

How are you doing today?

Thank you very much for starting this discussion. Getting a new diagnosis can be challenging, however with time and proper care it can get easier to manage it on daily basis. I will tag some members who might want to share their thoughts on this topic. Wishing you all the best on your medical journey!

Hello everyone! How are you doing?

Do you have delusional ideas and hallucinations? How do you cope with such symptoms? How did your symptoms progress/change with time?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team

I've only had hallucinations a few times and they were caused by meds. Big furry spiders I kept hopping on them to kill them for 2 days. I finally figured they weren't really because they didn't die. I called the Dr got a med change and poof they were gone. Thank goodness. Good luck, have patience.
